as i said in my first post if you would have read it i already did this and it is not working!
have you tried updating thru KIES?
which region is your handset from?
and you have already tried using the USB Jig too...right? after reading the POST one
If you belong to XEU, Kies would update the phone to KF3.
After updating the firmware normally the phone gets stuck in the boot screen for 10-15 secs first time around. i hope you are leaving it there for a minute or so.
i tried kies but it didnt recognize the phone.
i also flashed kf3 now but it is still not working. left it on splash screen for about 10 mins or so...
Well for starters a question about failed boot would be better answered in a failed boot thread and you dont mention you have read that post in your OP .
Clean flash
Via CWM recovery mounts and storage format SD card System Data Cache and this will wipe all data .
Factory reset .
Phone will now not boot .
Enter download mode .
Open Odin
Download a stock rom and following instructions connect USB cable and flash .
That fails its a service centre job .

ok jjegan can you plz explain that again so a noob can do it too?
Clean flash
Boot into recovery go to mounts and storage format SD card System Data Cache and this will wipe all data .
Factory reset .
Phone will now not boot no OS .
Enter download mode .
Open Odin
Download a stock rom and following instructions connect USB cable and flash .The same method you used .

Firstly, you did mention that you tried a factory reset, so the third post from JJE has no merit, so instead of assuming we know everything and rushing to answer, we need to determine the conditions under which your phone is no longer booting.
Was the phone working normally?
If it was, what rom was the phone running in the first place, and what did you do (if anything) before it got stuck at the boot logo?
The last post by JJE is "assuming" you have the CWM recovery, I am going to ask you, which recovery do u have, is it the stock recovery or the CWM recovery. if it's the ClockworkMod you would know.
Did you try a normal reboot or did you try flashing something on the phone before you got the bootloop?
yes the phone was working normally. i didn't do anything before it got stuck at boot. The stock rom with t-mobile austria branding was running on it. i can't say the exact version. The phone began to lag during games and browsing so i turned it off and wanted to turn it on again as it got stuck at boot logo.
no i do not have cwm installed so the factory reset and data/cache wipe was done from stock recovery.
after several on/off switches i tried flashing an unbranded stock rom available in this forum. first ke7 then kf3 but the phone still wont boot. also kies is not recognizing the phone.
thanks in advance.
What you want to do is get in into download mode open odin and
download and extract this
http://androidadvices.com/downloads/GalaxyS2_GTI9100_XXKG3_2.3.4.zip
tick repartition
click on PIT and select u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit,
click on PDA and select CODE_I9100XXKG3_CL401405_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5,
click on Phone and select MODEM_I9100XXKG3_REV_02_CL1040774.tar.md5,
click on CSC and select GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG3.tar.md5,
flash it
after all done perfectly reboot to recovery and wipe partition cache
reboot once again and you are done
if this helped reply me
unfortuantly it didnt work out. i did everything as you described but it still got stuck at the boot screen.
i really dont know what to do any more...
Downloaded but asking for password to unzip?
One of the major do not touch is both repartition and pit file especially for a novice .
You have taken the steps in the Boot loop thread post recovery wipe user data . Download mode followed by flash a stock rom that fails flash Villain rom .
Personally i would take the phone to a service centre and claim it stopped working during a Kies update .

Im a noob, so basically I rooted my phone and went into CWM recovery to flash a new ROM but stupid me didnt back up my stock ROM, and also I totally fogot to download a Custom ROM onto my sd card, so I went into CWM and cleared cache, clear data/factory reset, and rebooted but then it kept turning on and kept on doing that, the samsung logo comes on then keeps repeating.
After I went in cwm again and clear davnik cache, wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset a load of time randomly but it still didnt work PLEASEE HELP IM A STUPID NOOB AND I only got this new!!!
you didnt flash anything so it should still be fine, just without your data,you can get into recovery or download mode why not flash a new rom in odin?,your phone is still fine.look for a stock rom to revert
Your phone will take 5 to 10 minutes to boot after clearing cache, so if you are sure your mobile doesn't boot after 10 minutes then you have two alternatives .
1. Boot into cwm, connect your mobile to PC, mount your sdcard via cwm, copy the custom rom and flash it.
2. Download a stock from and flash it via odin
#*posted on the move *#
Flash again
1. Download a new stock rom from samfirmware.com
2. Save it to your pc
3. Get odin 1.85
4. Put your phone in download mode make sure battery is at least 50%, by holding down volume down, power and home key
5. Once in download mode press volume up to continue
6. Now on your pc you installed open odin 1.85 open the program
7. Connect the usb cable to phone first then to your pc.
8. Wait for the first box in odin to come yellow
9. Once it does click on 'pda' and find the stock firmware you downloaded do remember do not extract it nothing.
10. Once you have selected the file it will appear in the PDA section sometimes depending on the stock rom there might be 3 files so you may need to put the other files in the section above and below PDA so make sure you read this before anything.
11. Once done click start
Once the box turns green it will say passed and your phone will reboot and you will have successfully installed the original firmware back again.
Anything you dont understand reply back.

i can format ,mount ,unmount anything on phone but i cant format the user data or do a factory reset while doing that my phone hangs.

wel u have a soft brick ma8 dont panic just dwnl a odin flashable stock GB rom and install the same
after that search the forum under samsung gs2 how 2 root ur phone with stock gb fallow the instructions and root ur phone
then select the ics rom like lightening rom and flash thru odin
every thing will be fine
Reading the post, seems like OP did flash a stock file (although ICS, not GB).
2 dumb questions just to confirm. You have the i9100? not the i9100G? Also have you waited a certain amount of time after you flashed those roms? It can take up to a couple minutes for it to first boot.
If above are fine, (you have i9100, and you waited a long time and it was still stuck on i9100 screen)

Factory reset is not required after flashing a rom .
You load rom via Odin it finishes install and then reboots itself .
You load rom via CWM and it goes to reboot screen yes and phone reboots .
As said a stock gb rom flashed via Odin preferably after a format of system data and cache should be your first step .
jje
i did that.

ok then not ...
Looks like you have siyah rc6. Make sure it's not from the 21st, iirc.
Don't factory reset just to be safe.. Restore your nandroid if possible and change to a later version.
Hope all goes well

yup i had siyah 3.1rc6 on my phone.
i tried to restore my nandroid backup but there is no effect on my problem.
how to know weather emmc is fine or currupted?
Try to mount it in CWM and connect it in linux computer and run fsck to check the eMMC. Windows chkdsk is no good.
And please try to remember, did you do this step: flash bad siyah rc6 then wipe/factory reset and get stuck?
if not, then the problem is different from those who flash bad rc6 (which is removed now and siyah is safe)
any thing is not working.
in every thread its written that if my phone goes in download mode and recovery mode then its soft bricked but then how can i unbrick my phone?
or is there any hardware problem?
i can mount and unmount every thing in recovery mode
i can format every thing but only user data cannot be formated,when ever i format/data or factory reset the phone hangs.
is there any other way of hard resetting i9100.?other than cwm recovery?
Have you tried flashing with the .PIT? I doubt it'll work, since other people also tried it, but it's worth a shot.

Can somone please help me. I have no idea whats wrong. Its stuck at the Samsung boot logo and wont do anything.
This is what i did before it all.
I wanted to try out a custom ROM, so i installed SuperNexus.
Decided i did not like it that much, plus i did not get WIFI to work. Just wanted to try it out more or less.
So i wanted to reset it to STOCK rom again.
I followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
And after ODIN was done, its just stuck at the boot logo.
Did i do something wrong? Is it broken?
I did not follow the steps to "reset the warranty" as i thought it would not be any problem.
As i was gonna keep on going rooted.
So i cant go back and get a new one...
Somone please, any advice or tips on what to do?
do u still hav the recovery? try flash another custom rom and see

Did you do a data wipe in recovery mode?
Sent from my brain using my GT-S5830
Don't worry you haven't broke it. Just seems like you have made a wrong step and messed it up. Easily fixed. Try doing a full wipe and follow the guide again
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using XDA Premium
Seems like a kernel related problem. Try to start the guide again or try to flash a kernel with Odin or CWM. Will probably boot after a successful installation!
No i did not do a wipe, wich i probably should have. Problem now is, i cant get back into CWM or am i doing a wrong step?
EDIT: I got into CWM, i did a full wipe. Reboot. Nothing still stuck. Also did try to reinstall a custom ROM and still stuck the the new shiny logo that came with it.

Try the Volume-Up (I think, might be down, one does recovery, the other does download mode, you want recovery) + Home Key + Power button on boot.
If that doesn't go into recovery, you should be able to still go to download mode and flash using Odin from your computer I imagine?
Yeah i read the wrong one when i searched around. I got in. Phone is fixed now =) It booted when i took full wipe AND clean the cache thing.
Thanks for the help!
Full wipe is usually helpful when it comes to stuck on boot situation,corrupted rom or not correctly flashed rom.
after u flash with odin
u should enter recovery
do a factory reset
and it will work
thats how the s3 updates work
i had that problem too and i fixed it
Nothing is working.
Nothing is working for me.
Same happened to me after I flashed stock BTU (UK) 4.0.4 ROM (LG8). It just sat at Samsung logo with slowly pulsing Notification light. I rebooted and same thing.
I went into recovery (turn off and then hold VolUp + Home button + Power and as soon as lil Android appears, let go. it should go into recovery) i selected Factory reset and then wipe cache and rebooted and it booted fine.
Thanks all. I'm an 'old hat' at flashing roms etc., but never had the phone hang on boot after a flash, and you really do get a horrible sinking feeling as you wait longer and longer for it to respond. definitely gonna remember this trick to boot to recovery and wipe.
Thanks again to all
Hi All
I have a rooted GT-9100 phone with Jelly bean official Samsung Rom installed.
Build No : JZ054K.I9100XWLST
Baseband Ver. : I9100DDLS9
In the last few days i was having problems with many apps, and phone is restarting automatically. so i decided to do factory reset, after that as always the starter mode wanted me to select the language, after asked to update Time and date which i did and then suddenly the screen went black.
It started to reboot and since then the phone is stuck at the Samsung Logo.
what now? any suggestions?
FYI: I have rooted device with Siyah Kernel 3.0.31.

same issue
hello, i know this is a 6 months old thread but this is the first time now i found someone with the same issue.
Firstly i played around with flashing shiyah with sort of worked but i never had root acces, but thats not the problem here.
I did a factory reset when phone was stable and everything broke. It would boot up untill the language select, screen dims a bit after 1 sec, and then it restarts. When shiyah kernel is on there it will just stay stuck on the samsung text after boot after that. When i flashed stock kernel etc it would boot up the same at first, crash on language select. and then show the samsung boot animation over and over (not the sound though thats only the first time). in CWM recovery of shiyah whiping cache reset and dalvik wont help..
i find it strange that it broke on the factory reset.
Did you manage to solve this ?

So flash a stock rom with Odin to get back to square one ? You've probably flashed a version of Siyah that's incompatible with what you're currently running (Android version-wise). Once you've done that, flash PhilZ to root your phone+CWM & go from there (if you want to persist with Siyah, read the thread thoroughly to ensure you're flashing the correct version for the Android version you're running).
If simply flashing stock doesn't fix the problem, do a factory reset after you flash the stock rom. If that doesn't work, find Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General, download the 3 part firmware linked to in the thread & flash that (this will wipe your phone).
